Hello! I am Tung Nguyen, a fourth-year PhD student in the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University, working with Paul Seymour. Before Princeton, I earned a Bachelor of Science (with Honors) in Mathematical Sciences from KAIST, where my thesis advisor was Sang-il Oum.

My Vietnamese name is Nguyễn Huy Tùng.

I am interested in discrete mathematics, mostly structural and extremal problems in graph theory.

I have maintained the lists of problems submitted to two Barbados graph theory workshops: 2022a and 2024.
